Description
Summary:This study examines whether students' employment experiences during college are associated with increased interactions with diverse peers, and whether these relationships differ for students from differing racial/ethnic backgrounds. Results suggest that working on-campus during college was positively associated with increased interactions with diverse peers for both the full student sample and for several racial/ethnic subsamples. Additionally, working off-campus was positively associated with increased interactions with diverse peers for one racial/ethnic subsample.
